CCAP CORE SIMULATOR

The CCAP Core Simulator (CCS) is a network platform for validation, debugging, and prototyping for Remote PHY platforms. Based on the custom build Linux operating system with various services and daemons to emulate CCAP Core in Remote PHY architecture. The CCS is a complete platform that allows MSOs for testing RPD from multi-vendors to achieve full interoperability in compliance with the MHAv2 set of specifi cation. Thanks to the CCAP Core Simulator, MSO can successfully secure Remote PHY deployment in their network.
